The Lyon County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved the final budget and set the 2026 levy at $18,574,956 which is 9.9% over the 2025 levy.
“There was a lot of good discussion about options to reduce the levy, but they came to a consensus that making this adjustment this year should put the county in a better position to have a more stable budget going into 2027,” Lyon County Administrator Loren Stomberg said. “The board discussed paying off the bonds (debt) early but decided to take a wait-and-see position for now.”
The bonds carry an average interest rate of 3.125%, Stomberg said, and the county is currently getting 3.77% on its investments.
